Beauty
Nars Velvet Matte Skin Foundation. This is easily my best purchase of 2017 hands down. I think I went through 3 bottles this past year. It has great coverage and is super matte on my oily skin. I highly recommend.
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. I got a small sample of this and fell in love. Before, I never cared for primers. I thought they were a unnecessary expensive step before foundation. Now, I am hooked. The Hourglass keeps my foundation in place all day long and again, keeps my oily skin looking very matte. Can you tell I like a matte look? haha.
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Face Wash. I lied. THIS is actually my best purchase of 2017. This face wash is my holy grail. I have tried many different face washes and always go back to this one. The moisturizer is just as good.
Invisibobble Hair Ties. So good. The original and power hold my thick hair perfectly. I love how these hair ties to not leave a crease in my hair!
Food
Home Chef. Andrew and I loved doing this throughout the year. You can easily skip weeks and pick your meals. It is pricey but we love it and have never had a bad meal. I love how they give the macro break down for each meal. Such a fun thing to do together!
Lifting in Lilly - Macro Coach. I tracked macros with my coach throughout the year and I lost a significant amount of weight. Lindsay really encouraged me. I don't think she is taking clients anymore but she was truly great!
Joesphs Pitas. 4 net carbs. Need I say more??? I couldn't even tell you how many pitas I ate in 2017.
Kodiak Cakes. All of them are bomb and have great macros. Dark Chocolate specifically, is so so good. Usually on sale at Target, too!
Atomic Strength Fuel x30 Protein - Sugar free, lactose free, gluten free, fat free and so good tasting. I have only tried the homemade ice cream flavor. Word on the street is, all of the flavors are good.
Fitness
Crossfit Bound. I joined a different crossfit gym in March and it was the best decision I could have made. The workouts and coaching have really made a difference. I feel stronger but leaner.
Speed Shorts. Probably went overboard with Speed Shorts this year but I am not even sorry about it. I replaced all of my spandex shorts with speeds and am very happy about this switch. Next to replace all of my workout leggings. Quick, someone win the lottery and share with me!!!! ;)
Goals
I honestly don't have any specific goals for 2018 other than to live my best life. Continue to crossfit, run and eat healthy. I want to blog more and continue to mentor others to living a healthy life.
I have a lot of personal career and spiritual goals for myself this year which I am very excited about.
2017 was so-so. It was challenging and disappointing. Although, it had glimmers of hope and brightness I am so ready for 2018 and all it has in store for me.
Cheers!
